The tour includes a guided visit to Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, focusing on its architecture and history. Visitors will explore the medieval Old Town of Split, see the Cathedral of Saint Domnius from the outside with an optional paid entry inside, and view the main Riva Harbor promenade where the tour starts and ends.
